Earthborn Elements Whey Protein Isolate

This is the best whey protein isolate! It is absolutely flavorless (I put it in my morning coffee) and dissolves easily. When purchasing the large quantity, it is so much more affordable. This is especially good for people with digestive issues, as whey protein isolate digest so much better than any other protein powder, also great for people that have had gastric surgery. Highly recommend!!!!

Needed to get the lid open by starting with a pair of pliers, then it peeled off easily by hand. There wasn't a scoop in the bucket that I received, only a moisture absorber. I use a 14.7cc scoop from a dog fiber container which equals, according to a measurement conversion for protein powder website, 7.3g of protein/scoop. I soon discovered that this powder is flavorless in a glass of water. Too, while it clumped and didn't dissolve in hot coffee, it dissolved easily, simply stirred into cold water and juices, Greek yogurt... any cold, liquidy food or beverage without having to putts with a blender to make smoothies. Using the calculator on the Harvard Heath website, based on gender, age, weight, height and activity level, I should get 60g of protein/day, which isn't always that easy for me at regular meals; I rarely have any afternoon meals, for example. According to the Mayo Clinic website, a person should aim for 15-30g of protein at one meal sitting. Studies show that getting more/sitting is not more beneficial (it won't be absorbed) and is a waste of $. As an old guy, who still lifts weights (since 9th grade), I'm aiming at stopping muscle mass loss and perhaps even increasing it some over time. The easy addition of this protein powder to my diet will ensure that I'm able to get the amount that I need/day to remain a better-than-average-healthy-and-active old guy.

Love this protein powder! Best for stomach issues and fast recovery from exercise. Worth the cost by far. The bucket is helpful! So much better then a bag for protein powder!

According to the label, the net weight should be right at 53 oz so I put it on my digital scale and that's exactly what I got (or 3.3 pounds.) The whole gallon thing is a bit misleading. Anyway, this is the same whey isolate packaged by many brands on the market with sunflower lecithin added so that it doesn't clump together. At least to me, it tastes the same, looks the same and blends with whole milk the same. At current prices, it's not terrible at $.90 per oz, but there are better values out there; Nutricost in 5 lb containers being one of them. If you want pure whey, then you'll want to look at the more expensive concentrates as they usually don't have lecithin added. And read the labels very carefully because nearly every supplement company will try to sneak something past you!

Looking for something inexpensive that checks all the boxes? Well that would be this. It has absolutely no flavor and is bitter. Takes two teaspoons of stevia powder and a pinch of salt, just to make it palatable. It doesn't taste bad but it is definitely not something that you would look forward to straight out the bucket... But then again if you're eating out of a bucket and you really complain? It is what it is but it would have been nice if they threw either some flavor or some sweetener in it. Also the label on the side you've got to be f****** kidding me? Now I know what happened with the microfiche cameras everything is in huge letters on the bucket except for the ingredients. All of that printing real estate and they had to jam the ingredients into a 1 inch by four and a half inch strip... It is so tiny, that if you try to take a picture of it with your phone so you can increase the size it comes out blurry because it can't focus on it. You have to take a video and then take a screenshot after you pause the video.

No soy letchin And Better quality than far more expensive brands! I've been using isopure for years and it's the price has gotten extreme almost 30$ for 12 servings so I decided to try something new. I found this and was pleasantly surprised that instead of soy lectchin it uses sunflower letchin and mixes and tastes identical infact it's even smoother than isopure and mixes fine in hot, cold, high acid, and thick foods

If you require protein supplementation, this is an economical deal. I’ll add vanilla extract and or cocoa powder if I need it flavored. Stevia drops can add sweetness if you’re not adding fruit to your shake. Container is great for storing stuff after too— like legos (if you’re the type to hold onto stuff like this)

Being on a modified carnivore diet I use a ton of whey protein and this large bucket is fantastic because it lasts a long time and is very clean. It’s a great product and I will continue to use it as long as the quality remains high.
